WHAT IS USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN?

Slide 32

Slide 32 text

UX is not about Jargons

Slide 33

Slide 33 text

UX is not meetings

Slide 34

Slide 34 text

“If I’d asked my customers what they wanted, they’d have said a faster horse” UX is not whatever user wants!

Slide 35

Slide 35 text

“…people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” UX is not what you think user wants!

Slide 36

Slide 36 text

Design is definitely not making it ‘look’ pretty!

Slide 37

Slide 37 text

UX is not a mystery

Slide 38

Slide 38 text

UX is Science

COULD GO VERY WRONG IF THE RIGHT PEOPLE DON’T DO IT UX is about fixing the damn problem
